Boo hoo. Phillippe Aumont was left off of the Phillies' September call-ups after a tumultuous year in which he did everything to keep himself out of the Phillies' good graces. After Aumont closed out the 2013 AAA season with a thud on Monday, he now heads home for a long offseason to think about his […]
The debate over whether to buy or sell basically comes down to this: maybe the Phillies can chase down mediocre teams in front of them in the NL East, but you can't tell me that you think they can win a playoff series, as is. They don't hit elite pitching, which they will see in […]
Photo Credit: Kevin Durso, Philliedelphia I have no problem admitting that my personal belief is that the Philadelphia Phillies should come as close to "blowing up" their team as possible without venturing into that forsaken zone of mediocrity. It's part of the baseball life cycle—players get old and expensive; teams need to rebuild. "Old" and […]
Photo Credit: Kevin Durso, Philliedelphia It's July 9. Anyone can look at their calendar and figure that out, and it's not a date that is particularly pertinent to the game of baseball. At this point it is a matter of looking forward. A week from today, Major League Basbeall will host its annual All-Star Game. […]
Apparently short on relievers with 5.75 ERAs, the Phillies have expressed interest in Yankees reliever Joba Chamberlain, reports Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News. Feinsand indicated that Michael Young could be the one dealt. A Young-for-Chamberlain deal would be a matter of dumping salary. National League sources say the Phillies are amenable […]
We can fully expect the Phillies to be in the middle of Major League Baseball trade talk between now and the July 31 deadline. As the team continues to remain below the .500 mark, with no real sign of improvement, the team may have to make some tough decisions. And many will involve some popular […]
Cliff Lee has been traded three times already, and the return each time was abysmal. Here we are again with the Phillies struggling along and plenty of media seem to feel that trading Lee one more time is a foregone conclusion. So, it is only natural that local reporters will continue that theme between now […]
Could Papelbon close for a team that actually needs a closer? As violent storms continue to blow through the Philadelphia area, the Phillies continue to blow. One Phillies player who has not blown – any saves, that is – could find himself on the trade block when Phillies management starts to face the reality that […]
The Toronto Blue Jays are stacking up for the upcoming season. Enrique Rojas of ESPN reports that the Jays signed free-agent OF Melky Cabrera, who was suspended on August 15 for violating MLB's performance-enhancing drug rules, to a two-year deal worth $16 million. Just a few days after the Blue Jays pulled off a mega-trade […]
Your browser does not support iframes. Giancarlo Stanton is pissed off. And why wouldn't he? A rising star that was part of the new Miami Marlins, he finds himself surrounded by a bunch of rookies. This is a demoralizing blow to the budding superstar. But, by making the major league minimum on a frugal […]
